DIN EN 14534:2017-03 EN 14534:2016 (E) 6 Introduction The European Commission emphasizes the need to have common rules for the development of community postal services and the im
39、provement of Quality-of-Service (QoS). The Commission has identified requirements for postal QoS-Measurement systems that include: independent end-to-end measurement capabilities; a focus on national and cross-border distribution service performance; a single, uniform and reliable system for monitor
40、ing distribution service performance within the European Union. The Commission has acknowledged that the different postal traditions and cultures in Europe would not allow for the establishment of one common unified European measurement system and that national systems should have sufficient freedom
41、 to reflect needs and peculiarities of national markets. On the other hand, they should fulfil a defined set of minimum requirements to satisfy the information interests of the Commission, the regulatory authorities, postal customers and postal operators themselves. The objective of this standard is
42、 to define a modular QoS measurement system in a competitive commercial context. The measurement is designed to estimate the end-to-end transit time quality of service given to the postal customer. The measurement can be set up domestically in each European country and cross-border between the Europ
43、ean countries. This European Standard refers to a number of principles and minimum requirements to be applied for the measurement of the end-to-end transit time service-level of bulk-mail services. It is widely applicable for single-induction as well as continuous measurement applications. It provid
44、es recommendations on the comparability of different bulk mail transit-time QoS measurement results and their use as key performance indicators. This bulk mail standard has been developed from the requirements of EN 13850, Postal services Quality of service - Measurement of the transit time of end-t
45、o-end services for single piece priority mail and first class mail. Both European Standards consider methods using a representative end-to-end sample of all types of addressed mail appropriate for their coverage. For the measurement of bulk mail services a separate standard is required for the follo
46、wing reasons: Senders: Members of the public posting single items are replaced by businesses, small in number posting large volumes of mail. Third party agents (consolidators, mailing houses, letter shops) may also act on behalf of posting customers. Contracted Services: Mail posted in bulk will oft
47、en be mailed under a contract between the customer and the postal operator. Typically, bulk services require customers to standardize format and weight of their mailing, undertake a level of pre-sortation or to present mail in different ways according to the contract conditions. Volumes of mailings:
48、 Bulk mailings are large. They may contain thousands or millions of items. Performance Measures: On-time performance measures are expanded to provide different types of (i) on, (ii) by or (iii) between specific-dates performance depending on what is agreed with the postal customers or is specified f
49、or this service. Discriminant Characteristics: Test items have to match the characteristics of customer mailings. The range of characteristics relevant for the performance varies by type of mail service, and a wider set of potential characteristics should be considered. Greater flexibility is required to define for what part of the real mail logistics the results are representative for. DIN EN 14534:2017-03 EN 14534:2016 (E) 7 Production of
